Model Features

Side-Access Chain TensionerThe side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.

Decompression Valve
The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco valve', vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.

Built in the USA
Indicates products that are built in the United States from domestic and foreign parts and components.

Anti-Vibration System
STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

STIHL M-Tronic™ This product features M-Tronic™ (M) - a new generation of Intelligent Engine Management that eliminates the low and high speed carburetor adjustment screws, compensates for dirty air filter and changes in elevation and fuel quality for optimum engine power at all times.

Pre-Separation Air Filtration SystemThis time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance.

STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.

* The actual listed guide bar length can vary from the effective cutting length based on which powerhead it is installed on.

WARNING! Improper use of any power tool may cause serious
or fatal injury. Read, understand and follow carefully the operating
and safety instructions in your instruction manual before using such products.

MS 241 C-M is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 58.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LaneJ from Great Power To WeightI just have a few hours on this saw but am pleased with the performance. It is easy to start cold or warm, idles fine, great acceleration and power in the cut makes me feel I am running a larger chainsaw. I have been running the saw in SW PA at temperatures between 25 and 45 F ; using Stihl Moto mix.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Foxtrot from UnreliableThis saw has spent more time in the shop than in service. The solenoid has been replaced twice, fuel filter once and other nonsense and still is not right. Stihl ignores my pleas for help. I have owned many saws and currently own two other Stihls but after my experience with Stihl and the 241, I will never by another Stihl product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by JohnW50 from Runs great, leaks a lot of bar oilI bought the MS 241 CM because I wanted high quality and a lighter weight saw due to shoulder issues. My previous saw was an inexpensive brand that I used for many years with no servicing except plugs and chains. I paid many times that amount for the Stihl saw. It runs very well, starts easily and cuts better than my old saw. The only problem is after usage it leak a lot of bar oil. After cleaning up a couple of oil messes, I started storing it on a plastic tray. I took it in a couple of times and was told this is "normal". The Stihl FAQ says .3 to .5oz is normal. I estimate it is at least 2oz in a puddle that empties the reservoir and requires wiping down the saw with a paper towel before using. So my recommendation is conflicted: It runs well and cuts better than my old saw, as long as you are OK with cleaning up the oil messes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1stsgt from My little buddyWhen i got the 241 last fall I thought it would just be another dullard Mtronic saw, like my MS-261CM. However it has become a real friend and useful tool. It generally cranks up in just a few pulls and has done everything I have asked of it. I even cranked it up in the middle of a snow storm last month to see how it behaved in a snow storm. I have cranked it up in temperatures in the teens and temperatures in the 90's and it behaves the same way regardless of the temperature, outside. What I like best is its light weight and ease of use in tight areas, like limbing and cutting off stumps close to the ground. The 3/8P and .050 chain allows me to use my MS-180C file guides with the 241 and it has the larger gage.050 chain for longer life. The 16 inch bar has not limited its use a bit because it has no problem cutting through 12 inch oak without a whimper. If i need a bigger saw, i just grab on of my 20 inch Stihl saws.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fordfan86 from GREAT SAWI bought this saw from a buddy about 10 months ago who barely used it. All i can say is this saw is amazing , it doesn't matter how cold it is it always starts and cuts great. It is very light, ergonomic, and easy to start. We cut firewood for heating our home and i had a cheaper saw that gave out and i had to replace it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FatSnax74 from This is the Best saw ive ever used!I have 20 acres of white oak, bull pine, and manzanita trees. I have burned up 2 cheap saws; craftsman,and poulan both were garbage . I finally went and bought this stihl 241c and it makes felling and cuttin up trees a jiff. Cuts beautifully nice smooth cuts every time. Burns through big trees with little effort. Thanks for making quality. I have a line trimmer as well that is second to none! They are fuel efficient and just a dream to work with. I highly recommend for anyone considering this brand of any tool...........
